Why are units dying seemingly at random?? It always seems to be announced by some kind of speech bubble with... a grey... thing... in it? What is it, old age? Hunger??? Suicidal thought!!???!?!6616

Just got the easy badge, no idea what the point of this game is. No status on "forts" to tell me what's happening, not sure why some create new people, others don't. How are they fights won or lost? So much black box happening. The graphics are too difficult to really understand, even if you accept that style. And the moving seems really "off." 2/5

Also, if your opponent is building lots of max-level forts, just throw some volcanoes in the center of their base. They're so slow at reshaping the terrain that they'll quickly fall to just low-level camps.

The single best tool in the game is the "land raise/lower" tool: simply use it enough to protect your villagers on an island as you create a few max-level forts, then unleash them and tell them to look for a fight. The AI uses it so little that they just have a bunch of low-level camps/villages, making it an easy slaughter even though they technically outnumber you.

CO1980 if the enemy is building at a very high place and you terraform two nodes down then you can literally force them to come down and fight or waste their mana. EZ GG

@ Self Perfection: you can only terraform areas that you control exclusively (and provided you have sufficient mana, of course). If a tile would impact an enemy structure (either negatively or positively), you cannot terraform it. Forest growth is used in combination with the flame column to 'corrupt' more squares and temporarily denying the enemy more land, making their structures easier to conquer; haven't seen it in this game yet, but in Populous you could actually see fire spread through the trees into a structure and burning it down - I figure in this game it will at the very least impact enemy folks walking on the square with a tree that catches fire. I hope this helps :)

There are too many extremely easy ways to win. In every maps I could win simply by terraforming a big flat spot in the ocean and letting my people expand until I had overwhelming population superiority. Once the Water Storm and Armageddon abilities are available, it gets easier, or at least faster. With Water Storm, build a relatively high plateau, make sure it gets settled properly (maybe 4 castles) and then Water Storm all of your enemies out of existence. With Armageddon, once your population is greater than the enemy's, cast and win. It's basically the original strategy but faster.

Though I managed to get to lvl 20 I'm still confused how this game works. Why terraform suddenly stops working? It shows strike through arrow for desired location. Sometimes helps to terraform something near my base and return to desired location.
Forest growth spell - is there any use?

WindowsGamer, that is a diskette. Usually it has percentage of game loading below. If nothing happens for a long time, try Ctrl+F5, or just change the browser you're playing in

Fire Column is the most OP spell I've seen for the purposes of precision bombardment. Once you figure out how to target specifically the enemy cities, and you have sufficient mana generation, it makes Fire Column utterly devastating for enemy logistics, preventing them from getting any reinforcements from the cities behind the frontline.

Really enjoyed the game but terraforming is too OP! I just finished any level by terraforming into massive empires and overruning everyone

ugh. is the music in this game supposed to sound like MEW-SICK?
and why does the screen look like i sneezed on the top-left corner?

I keep waiting for the "flatten everything around my starting point then click Find a Fight" strategy to stop working, or to be even remotely resisted by the enemy, but it's not happened yet and I've finished map 13. I've never used any abilities other than terraform and waypoint and I'm through almost half of the maps. That's a problem.

This game is fantastic. Although it is a bit annoying that the terraform power sometimes fires off more than you want with a single click, especially in the later levels where the elevation is high. This is a minor complaint though and it didn't actually take away from the experience.

If you make a new one in the future, maybe add an "Are you sure?" prompt for the resign island... I paused to go to the bathroom and lost about 20 minutes of island warfare :(
